ABOUT

Build strength and confidence from the inside out with me!

My fitness journey brought incredible positivity to my life. I made good friends, found strength, courage, and inspiration. I have long wanted to become a personal trainer, to share the same, to be more involved in fitness, and to help others to meet their fitness goals.

I focus on building strength from the ground up by creating a strong foundation of movement quality before adding load, combining conventional and unconventional training techniques.

Most importantly, I want to help people exercise correctly and avoid any potential injuries.

I believe everyone can move well with strength and power.
